Porky Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Nice looking rig, I like the color on the tractor, very nice. Reminds me of a few 1/32 scale projects I have stashed I need to dig out and finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckyr Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Thanks Porky. The tractor graphics are a variation on an actual CL9000 I saw. Trailer graphics by Microscale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Very nice, Chucky! The Ford is one of the very few cabovers I like. That is very difficult to even tell that it's a 1/32 scale snapper, it looks clean enough to be a 1/24 scale kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckyr Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Thanks Highway and KW flatbed. Those old AMT and Monogram kits are fairly well proportioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Thanks Highway and KW flatbed. Those old AMT and Monogram kits are fairly well proportioned. No problem! I have to agree, those are some nice kits, I have the AMT Reefer. I seen one Revell's website the old snap 1/32 scale Mack R and tanker are supposed to be reissued later this year, I can't wait! I think the only thing Monogram could have done better on theirs was the fifth wheel and kingpins. I always hated that big post sticking out of the Monogram fifth wheels!

I emailed him information and photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superhornet1015 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Very nice looking, I wish they would start making those kits again. The ones you find on Ebay go for such outrageous amounts. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highway Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 A list of all 1/32nd Scale Model Trucks ever made. From my recollection: AMT (Matchbox/Ertl) Fruehauf Reefer Trailer Fruehauf Dry Van Trailer Did I miss any? I didn't know that AMT made a Freuhauf Reefer, but they also did the Trailmobile Reefer like this Tropicana one I have and that is also found in the Coca Cola set with the old Volvo that I think is the N10 you mentioned. Kenworth T-600A w/ Race Team Trailer While I don't think it was produced in the numbers the Kenworth sets were (Dale Earnhardt, Davey Allison, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Petty, Kmart Indy Racing team, and maybe one or two others if I remember correctly), there was one I seen that was a Pete 359 with a race trailer in Dale Earnhardt markings. Also, I'm not sure of the manufacture of the kit, and I may be mistaken if it was even a 1/32 scale, but once at a show I seen a Knight Rider transporter set. I didn't pay much attention to the kit after I seen the $200 price tag!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIL 111V Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Very nice combo with a "longoner", like the decals on both....from what kit? Both AMT's Ford CL/LTL 9000 1/32 snapper kits came out back in 1981 under Matchbox ownership, to compete Monogram excellent 1/32 Tractor/Trailer series. AMT did a pretty good job for snappers on both Ford kits...both gone since late 80's, 20+++ years,(Kenworth Aero & Volvo/trailer reissued in the 90's). Sure wish Round 2 would dig both AMT 1/32 9000 Fords (Mack SL, ERTL IH 9670 Eagle kits) in near future ...Another longoner :60's Renwal/later Revell, GMC 6X6 Crane (Tow truck) kit....also remember buying Revell Germany 1/32 snapper truck kit series back in the early 80's (basic kid kits of Volvo GT, Bison/General kits no chrome plated parts).
